I was too pissed off to even google a solution. :) And a big shout out to all the people that write useful software that enables us the little people to say 'screw you' in some way. @tornwordo – you are a lifesaver.

Try it, it really works. I was turned onto a little program called “hotspot shield” which assigns you a us proxy and then you can watch all that restricted content. Try it, it really works.

Especially since local stations that are supposed to have the coverage have such crappy sites. Yep – I’m still bitter about it.

This is an issue I`ve become much more sensitized to lately, since it`s becoming more intrusive and obvious. The government is no longer representing anything that I stand for and that makes sense and is only being a red-taped bureaucratic hindrance to our lives and a threat to our freedoms. The worst is the feeling of helplessness that accompanies above thoughts, often the civic actions we do seem to make little impact, and I cannot remember the time that a bill I actually supported being passed. When I speak to people in person they all express frustration with the same things and yet there are not enough of us to make significant change. It`s a paradox. But overall, I agree, BIG GOVT SUCKS!

And I totally agree. I also think that our government has become mammoth-sized and overly-intrusive because we've let it. Canadians, as you know since you are one, don't make enough noise because they're oh so polite, but too polite for their own good, if you ask me. God forbid we stand up and demand changes, or make some noise about the tentacles of our government extending to where they shouldn't. I fear it will only get worse as time progresses unless we do something about it. As for third party agencies, they've adopted the mentality of our government's way of running things. I imagine that quite a few of them are also partially funded and have rules to follow. I don't know. I just don't like big government. I hear ya. And I totally agree.
